Re: XFree86 Problems
Hello,
I could still log into the machine using ssh, just the screen went
blank and I couldn't get it back on. Nothing in the logs and it
looks like X was still running.
After much playing I think I have got it stable now. The problem
was with the mouse driver. I noticed that the screen went blank
after a click and so fired up gpm and switched to /dev/gpmdata
rather than /dev/psaux. This seems to have fixed it, although it
doesn't solve what caused the problem?
